A friend in Charleston sent this to me; it is a sort of farewell to the American people by “Al” Smith, the man who began life as a boy working in the Fulton Fish Market of New York, and served as governor of the state of New York four times. One might think that election to political office is not always proof of great qualities, since the element _ of popularity enters so largely, but! Smith for the presidency in 1928.

But let there be no change by usurpaion; for, though this, in one usurpation; for, though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free govemmenta are de stroyed. The precedent must al ways greatly over-balance in per manent evil and partial or tran sient benefit which the use can at any time yield.” This is the very essence of wis dom. The course that has been fol- , lowed has done great harm. ‘‘As a very important source of strength and security', cherish pub lic credit, not ungenerously throw ing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear." That is timely, though it is late to think about it. "A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a va riety of evils, sympathy for xa« favorite nation, facilitating the il lusion of an imaginery common in terest in cases where no real com mon interest exists.” “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most bane ful foes of republican government,” “Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own * to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalahip, interest, humor, or caprice?” We have heard the words of Al Smith and the words ^of George Washington. Both were the dis tilled wisdom of long and honor able careers, spoken when the sun had set and the evening shadows had come upon them. Perhaps I might sum it up in the parting words of David to Solomon: T go the way of all the earth: be strong therefore and show thyself a man.” good faith in the bidding.

Dated March 15, 1952. 3-3co pared a new Cpnstitution for New York, was regarded by Elihu Root as the best informed man in the convention. Mr. Root was a great lawyer and a Republican; Al Smith was a Democrat who rose from poverty to eminence by hard work and unaided study. In his last days Al Smith, a man of wealth and po sition, looked back over the years and spoke from study, observation of Al Smith which I quote today and ripe experience. So the words are like a voice from the other world. Hear him: J‘Whgt are these dangers that I see? The first is the arraignment of class against class. It has been freely predicted that if we were ever to have civil strife again in this country, it would come from the appeal to passion and prejud ices that comes from the dema gogues that would incite one class of our people against the other.” Well, we certainly have a full measure of that. “A GOVERNMENT BY BU REAUCRATS The next thing that I view as being dangerous to our national well-being is government by bu reaucracy instead of what we have been taught to look for, government by law.” I have spoken of that almost be yond your endurance. But it is the crownihg menace of the day. “In 34~ months tfe have built up instruments of public Dr. Felder Smith Optometrist Laurens, S.

And now a greater than Al Smith speaks from the tomb: let us hear America’s patron Saint, the grand est, most majestic figure ever to stand in the forefront of a nation’s life. Who? This country is rich in memory of great figures, but •one-' stands apart, unequalled, the sup erb character who met every occa sion with dignity and wisdom. George Washington, the towering character which -overshadowed all others even in a period of great men. Let Washington speak to us: “I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, wih particular reference to the founding of them on geographical! discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn man ner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of party, generally.” We have seen great changes merely by the whim of bureau crats and the arrogance of Judges. “The common and continual mis chiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to dis courage and restrain it.” We see this today and we must rise above Party in order to pre- NEW FROM PHILCQ Wallhide VITOLIZED OIL FLAT WALL PAINT A one-coat "Vitolized Oil” base paint that costs less, out-covers, out lasts and gives far more beauty and satisfaction than ordinary paints— it’s the only Wall Paint enriched with Pittsburgh’s exclusive process “Vitolized Oils” to give controlled penetration, lasting beauty.

This power is wholesome and proper, but in the hands of polit ical puppets of an economic autoc racy, such power would prbvide shackles for the liberties of vour people.” Verily how true, indeed! A well known newspaper said editorially last week that the Truman Admin istration has on hand almost seven billion dollars of unspent money for aiding other nations. Why, then, ask for seven billions more? Some time ago I quoted an authority as saying that the Truman Adminis tration now has on hand unspent appropriations baout equal to the vast amount it now asks from Con gress. Don’t you see that all this. gives to that horde of bureaucrats j vast power without going again to| Congress; it means that Congress is losing its grip. ‘The next danger that is appar ent to me is the vast building up of new bureaus of government, draining resources of our people in ar common pool of-redistributing them, not by any process of law, but by the whim of a bureaucratic autocracy.” “Al” was a prophet, wasn’t he? “That was pretty plain. That was a recognition in the national con vention of the rights of the States. But how is it interpreted? The Fed eral CJovernment took over most of the relief problems, some of them useful and most of them useless.” (Relief to be through the States). Well, we can’t deny that, can we? “And the sin of this whole thing, and the part of it that worries me and gives me concern, is that this haphazard, hurry-up passage of legislation is never going to ac complish the purposes for which it was designed and—bear this in mind, follow the platform—under State ernment so firmly controls all this that the Chairman of one such Board wrote to me mat although he agreed with a suggestion of mine he was afraid to adopt it for fear of losing FEDERAL AID. And so we proceed on the merry way of strangling the States and local self-government. “Let’s see how it was carried out. Make a test for yourselves. Just get the platform of the Dem ocratic Party, and get the platform of the Socialist Party, and lay them down on your dining room table, side by side, and get a heavy lead pencil, and scratch out the word ‘Democrat’, and scratch out the word ‘Socialist’, and let the two platforms lie there.” “Now I am going to let you in on something else. How do you sup pose all this happened? Here is the way it happened. The young Brain Trusters caught the Socialists in swimming and they ran away with, their clothes.” “Now what is worryng me, where does that leave me as a Democrat? My mind is na wfixed upon the Convention. The Committee on res olutions is about to report, and the preamble to the platform applauds everything. - “What happens to the disciples of Jefferson and Jackson and Cleve land when that resolution is read out? Why, for it is a washout. There is only orie of two things we can do.
